Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

Although Liu Yun is the uncle of Emperor Liu Xie in name, he worships Li Wang, but he has never had great ambitions. Even if he followed Yuan Shao and others to fight against Dong Zhuo before, he thought that it would not be easy to drown if he crossed the river and followed the big flow. Ideals and ambitions in mind.

Liu Yun has a peaceful personality and is tactful in dealing with things. Ever since Cao Cao gained the upper hand in Xudu, Liu Yun has brought his natural goodness to the extreme. After a few years, he unexpectedly became popular in Xudu. Dudao Li Wang has a compassionate heart, and he is most willing to give.

Seeing his father's rise to fame in the past few years, Si Qi even praised him a few words from Yuan Shao, who had trouble with Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zan, and felt that his father was also amazing. It's time to rain on Song Gongming.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Liu Bei can find Liu Yun as a lobbyist.

Almost everyone inside and outside the court knew that King Li was very embarrassed in front of Cao Cao, but most people didn't know much about the reason behind it. Only then did he give Liu Yun special preferential treatment, but it was not the case.

When the Eighteenth Route princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Liu Yun admired Cao Cao very much. He was very kind to Cao Cao, who was not a big brother back then. He even lent him his soft armor in a very fierce battle. Cao Mengde's life was indirectly saved, so the relationship between the two has always been extraordinary.

But Cao Cao is in his current position, and he still doesn’t want to make too many enemies. Even if Cao Cao can’t deal with those who support the Han Dynasty, he can’t be enemies with them all, so he is willing to make friends with Liu Yun, who is still a neutral faction. .

Today, someone came from Cao Cao's house and explained that the mistress of the mansion has changed.But Mrs. Zhang's heart and eyes were only on the gifts from the Cao family, and naturally she didn't pay too much attention to those things inside and outside the words of the visitor.

The two families are considered friendly now, since the wife of the Sikong mansion has changed, both of them should send some congratulatory gifts to Li Wang's mansion.

Thinking of this, Si Qi euphemistically reminded his father: "Today, Cao Sikong's mansion sent a lot of brocades and gifts, and the grandma of Sikong's mansion said that Mrs. Cao's family has changed. This is a happy event." , no wonder that grandma said it with joy on her face."

Liu Yun immediately grasped the important point: "Has Madam Sikong already made a decision?"

He only knew that because of the death of his adopted son Cao Ang, Cao Cao's original wife Ding complained that her husband did not take good care of the child, and had been in a cold war with Cao Cao, and later developed to the point of needing a divorce.

After Mrs. Ding left, she never heard from Mrs. Cao's house again, so she didn't expect it to be settled.

Originally, this scene in the afternoon is the most likely to make people feel drowsy and drowsy, but at this time when talking about the Cao family, Zhang suddenly regained his energy: "I seem to have heard someone say that Mrs. Cao Jiazheng is going to marry Erlang. His mother, Bian's family, today's people from Cao's family also say that this statement is true."

Liu Yun's family was very concerned about Cao Cao's divorce and remarriage, but it was not purely out of gossip.

Liu Yun and Siqi's mother, Xun Yue, also divorced early in the morning because of their disagreements, and each side walked half of the road facing the sky.Xun Yue is Xun Yu's younger sister, and also a daughter of a noble family. She is supported by her father and brother, and married to Jiangdong. It is said that her life is very good.

The divorce from Xun Yue was a big blow to Liu Yun. Not long after Liu Yun divorced, Cao Cao also separated from his original partner Ding.When Liu Yun and Zhang Shi saw that the powerful Cao Cao was also divorced, they would inevitably feel a little bit of comfort in their hearts, just like a person who has been failing the exam all the time finds that another big boss will also fail the exam. few.

Thinking of this, Liu Yun couldn't help but sighed: "I really didn't expect that Meng De and I are the same way."

Not only are they all divorced, but they are all divorced by their original spouses, aren't they the same kind of people!

Si Qi: ...

What are you thinking.Except that you were both abandoned by your original wives, you have no other similarities, and you are obviously not the same.

Since Xun Yue left, Liu Yun has never thought of remarrying, no one else, but just thinks that the fact of getting married is troublesome, and it is really annoying for one more person to control himself.

But there is no mistress in this family, and Mrs. Zhang is a housewife who has never experienced anything in half her life. Liu Yun needs to personally handle the gift-giving among the housewives.

Fortunately, Liu Yun has always been good at dealing with people, especially in the past few years, he has been able to do these things with ease and with ease.

Speaking of which, there are quite a lot of presents that need to be prepared in the past few days. Liu Bei's birthday is coming soon. Liu Bei is Liu Yun's distant cousin, and the two families are considered good friends. Naturally, this gift cannot be saved.

Cao Cao made Bian, the mother of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, his wife. Although it was not a remarriage and there was no need to make a fuss, he still had to choose a good gift to send.

In addition to Liu Bei and Cao Cao, there is also the marriage of Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi.Although Yuan Shao has been at odds with Cao Cao in recent years, it is said that he is quite "loyal" to Liu Xie, and has always been in touch with Liu Yun.

Liu Yun thought about preparing a congratulatory gift for Yuan Xi.

Mrs. Zhang also had an impression of this matter: "I heard that Yuan Shao's second son married a young lady from Shang Cailing's Zhenyi's family. She is a well-known beauty. Is this true?"

Liu Yun had never met Mrs. Zhen, so naturally he had no conclusion on this matter.

But Si Qi nodded silently in his heart.

This rumor is naturally true, and Zhen Mi's beauty has been widely spread in later generations, otherwise, how could Cao Pi fall in love at first sight after breaking the city, and directly take her home to the golden house.

After the matter was almost discussed, Liu Yun got up and prepared to go back.Just now, I exchanged a lot of vegetable growing experience with Liu Bei, and he is going to go back and have a look at his newly developed vegetable field.

Seeing that the king was about to leave, Zhu Hong, who was waiting on the sidelines, remembered that there was one important thing she hadn't said, so she hurriedly reminded Zhang Shi: "Taufei, Empress Fu in the palace sent someone to send an invitation card yesterday, inviting you and my lady to go. She was enjoying the flowers in the palace, you said you would ask the king and then give the queen an answer."

After being reminded by Hongzhu, she also remembered this matter: "Yes. Empress Fu sent the palace people over yesterday, thinking about inviting me and Siqi to enjoy the flowers in the palace. Although I don't want to see their family, I would like to go to his house to meddle, but it's not good to hinder your official career because of such a trivial matter, I'd better ask you to make up your mind."

Si Qi couldn't help but looked up at Liu Yun, hoping that he could help him to reject the matter.

Anyone who has watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" knows that at about this time, Liu Xie, Empress Fu, Dong Cheng and others joined forces to kill Cao Cao, but after being killed by Cao Cao, they were killed and escaped to become Liu Bei .

In her heart, there are thousands and ten thousand people who don't want to go. Now that time is sensitive, it's better to stay as far away as possible from these whirlpools.

Liu Yun thought for a while, and said: "With Sikong sitting there, the court is relatively peaceful inside and outside, and no one dares to mess around in the palace. Since the queen sincerely invited her, mother took Aying to the palace to see this autumn. It's just a fresh flower."

After Liu Yun finished saying this, he realized that something was wrong with his little daughter, and his expression almost collapsed the moment he agreed.

Liu Yun leaned over and gently touched his daughter's head.

Although he and Xun Yue had a very unpleasant quarrel in the past, he really liked the daughter that the Xun family left for him——smart, quick-witted, witty all over her body, a rare precocious child She is completely different from her two older brothers who just manage to get by.

The more such a child is, the more you should clarify your interests with her, so as not to let her keep her doubts in her heart.

Liu Yun said softly to Si Qi: "The empress announces that you will enter the palace to enjoy the flowers, and at the same time the empress is showing kindness to our mansion. You and your two elder brothers have no titles at present, even though our family is not close to the empress, But after all, it will be useful in the future, so I have to give it some face."

After hearing this, Si Qi had no choice but to obediently agree.

If she was the only one who didn't get the title, it's okay, after all, the two brothers are still white now, if she refuses to go, delaying the future of the two brothers, the old lady must be the first to refuse.

On the day of viewing flowers, Si Qi got up early in the morning, and was put in front of the vanity mirror by Concubine Zhang to dress up, and it was not finished until nearly half an hour later.

Although the Zhang family has made no achievements in many aspects, her aesthetics has always been online. Concubine Zhang looked at Siqi who was dressed up, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she was.

I have to say that she is a good-looking granddaughter, with exquisite facial features, white skin that is better than snow, and a pair of eyes full of agility on her palm-sized face. Even if she is as picky as her, she can't say anything wrong.

Although Si Qi didn't want to go to the palace to meddle, but now that the matter has been settled and cannot be changed, he tried his best to adjust his mentality to accept this matter.

Fortunately, Zhang's status is high enough, and Si Qi is also of the same generation as Emperor Liu Xie, so he will not be embarrassed by anyone in the palace.

As a rule, the carriages of Prince Li's Mansion were not allowed to enter the palace, and Zhang's carriage was also stopped by the servants in front of the palace gate.

Mrs. Zhang also knew the rules in the palace, but at this moment it was obvious that she had no intention of getting out of the carriage and walking to the Queen's Palace.

Zhu Hong stuffed a purse to the leading servant, and smiled apologetically to the man: "It's autumn, the weather has turned cold, and it rained several times in succession, and our concubine's leg disease happened again, and the road to the palace is long. , if you want to walk in with a pair of legs, I'm afraid it's not good."

Si Qi: ...

Just yesterday, my grandmother was still taking a walk in the yard to digest food, and it took more than half an hour to walk.

The servant also knew that the person in the carriage should not be offended, and now that he has collected the money, it is not good to continue to embarrass him: "Mrs. So ignorant of good and evil to work for the concubine? Please wait here for a while, and the servants will prepare the sedan chair for the concubine and the young lady."

Seeing the courteous look of the servant, Si Qi once again firmly believed that Liu Yun had done well in front of Liu Xie, which was why the servant was so flattering, and he was also very pious when he gave Zhang's big gift.

Si Qi waited in the car with Zhang Shi for about a cup of tea, and the other party brought a small sedan chair as Zhang Shi's means of transportation.

Mrs. Zhang was satisfied with the efficiency of the servants here, and took Si Qi into the sedan chair.

The space in the sedan chair is not large, and it cannot be compared with the carriage of the palace.

The scale of the new imperial palace in Xudu is not too large, and it will not take too long to reach the queen's palace. Although Zhang feels that the sedan chair is a bit crowded, she thinks that it is on the emperor's territory, so it is not too out of line, so she goes to the palace. He didn't say anything more.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Si Qi felt that the sedan chair stopped suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, a delicate female voice sounded from outside: "Which honored guest of the Queen is in this sedan chair?"

The servant leading the way hurriedly said: "It's Mrs. Zhang Tai and the young lady of Prince Li's Mansion."

"It turned out to be the concubine of Uncle Li's family. The concubine Dong's family has lost her way, and I hope Madam Tai will forgive me."

Zhang opened the curtain, and took Si Qi out of the sedan chair.

It was not the first time for Si Qi to enter the palace, and he basically knew everyone in the palace.I had already made up my mind when I heard the voice just now, but now I looked up, as expected, it was Liu Xie's beloved concubine Dong Guiren.

These days nobles are different from the nobles of later generations. In the Qing Dynasty, nobles were only concubines, without canonization ceremony, so they could not be regarded as serious concubines, but now Dong Guiren has a very high status in the palace, second only to the empress in the harem. The location is no worse than the noble concubines of later generations.

Dong Guiren is the daughter of Chariot General Dong Cheng, and Si Qi doesn't seem to be a very intelligent person after listening to her father Liu Yun's evaluation of her.

No matter in the historical records or in the interpretation, Dong Cheng has left a strong mark, among which the "Clothing Belt Edict Incident" is particularly famous.

Rumor has it that Liu Xie couldn't bear Cao Cao's disrespect towards him and his control over the government and officials. He once sewed a letter written in blood into his belt and asked his confidants to hand it over to Dong Cheng.

After Dong Cheng obtained the edict, he united with Liu Bei, Wu Zilan, Wang Zifu, Zhong Ji, Wu Shuo and others to kill Cao Cao, but was killed by Cao Cao in the end. Except for Liu Bei who fled, no one was spared.

Si Qi remembers that when the Yidai incident happened in history, Dong Guiren was pregnant. Liu Xie also asked Cao Cao to save Dong Guiren's life for the sake of the child.

But now Dong Guiren's waist is already very thick.

Recently, the aristocratic family in Beijing has changed, and the relationship between Cao Cao and Liu Bei has become more and more tense.

Is it not too far from the Yidaizhao incident?
